Lonnie Wheatley, LUBBOCK, Texas (May 6,
2020) – Anticipation continues to build as does
the field for next week’s West Texas Crude
Nationals at Lubbock’s West Texas Raceway.

The current field of Sprint Cars for the
event presented by Josh Baughman that takes
place on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 12 and 13,
now stands at 38 with Shane Stewart and Blake
Hahn among the latest to accept invitations.

A field of 32 USRA Modifieds will be in
action as well.

Bixby, Oklahoma native Stewart, a veteran
World of Outlaws shoe, will team with Joey
Saldana aboard a second Lubbock Wrecker Service
No. 11x Sprint Car.

Sapulpa, Oklahoma’s Hahn, a regular

has a penchant for stepping up in big races with
wins in the last two editions of Little Rock’s
Short Track Nationals among his triumphs.

Channin Tankersley has joined the mix as

racers including Blake Carrick, Tanner Carrick
and J.J. Ringo to bring the Cali representation
